Certainly under your goal for this year and just a hair over your PR. And you thought you were getting older. I told you not to sell yourself short. Congratulations again.

I do talk about the VHTRC all of the time--I&#39;m sure people get sick of hearing about how great it is and that there is no equivalent, but it&#39;s the truth! <br /><br />I think you&#39;ve got a PR in you for MMTR....look at what Meghan&#39;s been doing all year at 49. Your best years are yet to come!amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17331844957221069032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-19720341370655444952010-09-10T13:38:55.157-04:002010-09-10T13:38:55.157-04:00Thanks guys!

And Ronda...one of these days my hubby and I are planning to come out to your neck of the woods so I can run Waldo and he can mountain bike in the BikeOregon weekend. Have you seen that/heard of that? Looks like a sweet way to check out all the great trails and meet some like-minded folks.<br /><br />Until then, let me know when you will be coming east. I know Amy loves the Bull Run Run 50...it&#39;s a nice trail but not as representative of what we love about Virginia ultrarunning as Promise Land or Grindstone 100 (lots of running and lots of climbing, not the rocks of Massanutten). The VHTRC gang will be at Bull Run, Promise Land and Massanutten in force. <br /><br />I AM going to go for it tomorrow, ...weather looks cool, just the way I like it!Sophie Speidelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04898497608573807716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-37980633076513922242010-09-09T09:23:43.247-04:002010-09-09T09:23:43.247-04:00I know you are going to run great Saturday. Yes, ...I know you are going to run great Saturday. Yes, our bodies are getting older, but yours continues to stay strong. Don&#39;t sell yourself short. Start out easy and your body will guide you along and I imagine it is going to be on the fast end of things. Good luck and remember to have some fun in the process!Rick Grayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00067293157750460416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-11160666480970465582010-09-08T20:01:19.498-04:002010-09-08T20:01:19.498-04:00Sophie, your PR days are just getting started!

Don&#39;t set yourself short for &quot;anaerobic sufferfest&quot; you might shock yourself, go for it.<br /><br />I need to meet some your running crew. Amy talks about your running group all the time with fond thoughts. I know she misses them. Sounds like us Oregonians have some serious shoes to fill. Hey, dust off your mountain bike and meet me in Leadville for the 50M bike race?Roosterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10832545114209221483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-74401740930325294642010-09-08T15:14:42.559-04:002010-09-08T15:14:42.559-04:00Betcha you&#39;ll do great at WHM.
